2. In release 9.2.31 the system parameter 2 (cnfsysparm 2) is changed from "Fail Connections On Communication Break" to "Allow CPU Starvation of Fail Handler".

The old parameter has been removed as it violated the principle of separating control and data plane. The new parameter allows a new feature to be turned off that gives CPU to the Fail Handler at the expense of the Transaction Handler in case the Fail Handler does not get scheduled for a long time.

3. Do not mix MEE and MEF (or higher) in yred pair for BXM 2 port group enhanced cards (OC3 or OC12 port). Addyred will fail if both are in standby mode, or the primary card has been activated with MEF (or higher) and the secondary card has MEE.

4. For BXM 2 port group, enhanced cards activated with MEF or higher, downrev to MEE will bring the cards into MISMATCH mode. This applies to both single cards and yred pairs.

5. Release 9.2.30 introduces four new commands in BPX:

6. There are changes in the following command starting from release 9.2.30:

7. The multiple partitions introduces 2 VSI partitions on trunk and port interfaces on the BXM card. So, one partition can be used for MPLS, one can be used for PNNI. Virtual Trunk can have only one VSI partition or can be used for Autoroute, but cannot be used for both VSI and Autoroute simultaneously. This project introduces 6 service class templates in addition to the 3 existing templates.

Even though tag ABR is supported in Service Class Template (SCT), the MPLS controller and the BXM firmware currently do not support this.

The configurable VPI/VCI introduces 2 new parameters in addctrlr and addshelf commands, through which the user can specify the VPI and VCI of the master-slave control channels.

8. There is a change in reporting of port group number in this release. Previous image (MEC) of BXM used to report 1 port group for the 2 port group cards at the channel stats level 2 and 3. This made the port belonging to 2nd port group unusable.

Upgrading to 9.2.30 software first and then burning BXM card with the MED or higher firmware, BXM will report 2 port groups for 2 port cards all the time. The smooth transition between the earlier 1port group and the newly reported 2 port groups also displays message in dspcd "Inconsistency with logical PG #" (port group number). All earlier software will mismatch the card.

If the BXM card is programmed with MEC or earlier firmware revision and the Channel Stats for level 2 or 3 will report 1 port group. Burning a MED or higher image will result in 2 port groups but for backwards compatibility the software will not do the re-computation of LCNs based on the new port groups. In its logical database this will not impact the Auto Route connections.

For VSI controller the reported value will be higher than the actual available LCNs. That means a VSI controller may not be able to add connection even though the available connections are non zero. If the user wishes to remove the above discrepancy, he has to bring the card to the standby mode.

Note that the newly configured card or the card in standby mode programmed with MED or higher image brought to the active state will not have above discrepancy.

9. In BPX nodes that use processor cards with 32Meg of RAM, it is possible to run out of memory in the Hitless Region. This can happen if the node is too heavily configured with cards and connections. The recommendation below should prevent memory aborts.

In nodes that have processor cards with 64Meg of RAM, there should be no Hitless Region memory problem. This is because 64Meg processors contain a second Hitless Region, which is larger than the first.

The following calculation will help prevent memory aborts on BPX processors with 32Meg. For simplicity, the numbers are approximate. It is necessary to add up the number of cards in the node, as well as the number of connections, and make sure that the total does not exceed the recommendation.

During system initialization, roughly 17,100 blocks of the available 40,000 are used for the card database.

In addition, assume that 1500 blocks will be needed for each BXM card that can support 16K conns, which is the more common configuration. Some BXM cards can support 32K conns, and these will need 3000 blocks of the Hitless Region. This chunk of memory is allocated at the insertion of the BXM card and will not be released until a card of different type is inserted.

Also, 300 blocks will be needed for each 1000 via connections on the node. This can be viewed with the user command dspload.

    17100 blocks for card database
    1500 blocks for EACH BXM that supports 16K conns 
    3000 blocks for EACH BXM that supports 32K conns 
     300 blocks for EACH 1000 conns
   -----------------------------------------------------------------
   40000 blocks maximum total (34000 blocks for 9.2 releases up to 9.2.23)

10. The minimum software required to run MPLS are:

The BPX with external 7x00 label switch controller (router) with Switch Software Release 9.2.10 and IOS release 12.0(5)T can function as an ATM-LSR. The enhancements to dynamic label switching that was supported in Release 9.1 include support for MPLS Class of Service. The BPX as an ATM-LSR supports the "Multi-Label VC" model to support MPLS Class of Service. 5 Qbins (Qbin 10-14)are reserved for MPLS Class of Service. Class based WFQ is supported on these IP queues.

The BPX can also function as a "P" ATM-LSR in the MPLS-VPN architecture.

Hot Redundancy of MPLS connections on the BPX is supported by BXM hot card redundancy. Continuous message forwarding, and keep-alive between the BXM redundant pair ensures the connection continuity on BXM switchover. On Failure of a BXM card, the standby card becomes active with the label-vc's. Re-synchronization between the MPLS Label Switch controller and the BPX ensures that their databases are in sync.

11. The 16K connections feature increases the number of connections terminating on the BPX switch to 16,000. The count includes connections terminating on BXM or ASI endpoints on cards within the node as well as connections terminating on service modules in the feeder shelves connected to the BPX switch. For example, a Frame Relay connection that originates on a FRSM in an MGX 8220 connected to a BPX counts as one of the 16,000 terminated connections on that BPX.

This feature requires a BCC-3-64 or BCC-4 controller in the BPX as well as switch software 9.2.10 or higher.

12. Version 2.2 of the VSI (Virtual Switch Interface) provides the BPX switch with the ability to support multiple network protocols and multiple controllers per switch (e.g., MPLS, PNNI, etc.). Switch resources can be dedicated to a specific controller or shared by multiple controllers.

This feature is supported on BXM ports, trunks, and virtual trunks and requires a BCC-3-64 or BCC-4 controller in the BPX as well as switch software 9.2.10 or higher and firmware MEA or higher.

Following are the VSI features:

13. The combinations of system limits such as the number of trunks, lines, ports, and connections as well as enabled TFTP interval statistics should be provisioned so that the node has at least 50% idle time usage. Use the command dspprfhist to verify.

14. When cost based routing is used, increasing the cost of a trunk will result in deleting the preferred path on connections in the database if the sum of the preferred path cost exceeds the connection of configured cost. The connections will remain routed on its current path.

15. On the BXM and UXM, for the OC-3 MultiMode Fiber backcards, Y-Redundancy/hot standby is not supported due to hardware restriction.

16. The trunk reconfiguration feature does not support IMA trunk.

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

General/Upgrade Procedure

Please consult your Support Representative before performing any software upgrade

1. The earliest release supported for graceful upgrade is 9.1.03.

2. 9.2 switch software requires MEB to MEJ firmware for BXM Model E cards.

3. Before upgrading to this release when UXM cards are to be used, certain legacy card firmware must be upgraded. See the compatibility matrix for cards affected and the exact versions to be used.

Note   Standards compliant IMA is not compatible with the proprietary IMA protocol used in revision A firmware. Both ends of an IMA trunk must have the same protocol.
Caution   Failure to follow this procedure may result in the card not operating. The card should be returned to Cisco if this occurs:
Step 1   Verify current boot code version

In order to run Model B firmware on an UXM, the card needs to be running boot code revision 6 or greater. To determine the boot code running on the card, issue the following command from CLI (user must be logged in as Service level or greater to use this command):

rsh <slot #> sys version

Step 2   Upgrade UXM's boot code if necessary

The process for loading boot code is exactly the same process you would use to load firmware. The only part which changes is the name of the file.

Note   Burning the boot code will cause the card to reset.

Step 3   Upgrade UXM's firmware

Step 4   When Y-redundant trunks are used, the red alarm in/out values must be configured to 1.25/1.5 seconds or greater, or else INVMUX failures will occur and trunk failures will be observed during a Y-redundancy switchover. Use the following command:

cnftrkparm

This is due to the IMA protocol and may cause re-route of connections.

Step 5   Upgrade NPM software to 9.2


4. Procedure for Upgrading UXM-to-IMATM Trunks from Proprietary IMA Protocol to ATM Forum Compliant IMA Protocol.

Step 1   Download and burn UXM bootcode version 06 or later to all UXMs in the network. This will cause the card to reset and reroute traffic to other trunks.

Step 2   On IGX to have firmware upgrade, issue command cnffunc 15 d to disable the UXM from resetting automatically after the firmware is burned in.

Step 3   On each MGX-8220 equipped with IMATM-B, upgrade the ASC to 5.0.10.

Step 4   Download the Forum Compliant-Firmware version imatm_5.0.10.fw but do NOT reset IMATM-B card.

Step 5   On each IGX-UXM with IMA to be upgrade, burn firmware A.B.E or later to each UXM with IMA trunks.

Step 6   Simultaneously reset the card at each end of each IMA trunk to minimize trunk outage.

Step 7   Upgrade 9.1 nodes to 9.2 via loadrev and runrev.

Step 8   Issue the command cnffunc 15 e after each IGX is upgraded to 9.2.20 or later.


Note   The above procedure also applies to the UXME.

5. Procedure for Upgrading UXM-to-UXM Trunks From Proprietary IMA Protocol to ATM Forum Compliant IMA Protocol

Note   For Y-redundant UXMs, issue the command cnftrkparm 18 100000 100000 prior to this procedure and return to default values after this procedure
Step 1   Download and burn UXM bootcode version 06 or later to all UXMs in the network. This will cause the card to reset and reroute traffic to other trunks.

Step 2   On IGX to have firmware upgraded, issue command cnffunc 15 d to disable the UXM from resetting automatically after the firmware is burned in.

Step 3   On each IGX-UXM with IMA to be upgraded, burn firmware A.B.E or later to each UXM with IMA trunks.

Step 4   Simultaneously reset the card at each end of each IMA trunk to minimize trunk outage.

Step 5   Upgrade 9.1 nodes to 9.2 via loadrev and runrev.

Step 6   Issue the command cnffunc 15 e after each IGX is upgraded to 9.2.20 or later.


Note   The above procedure also applies to the UXME.

6. Procedure for Upgrading BXM cards to the 9.2 Firmware Release

To enable BXM cards to utilize 9.2 features, all BXM cards must be upgraded to the 9.2 firmware release. The following steps should be taken to avoid card mismatch:

For the switch running

Perform the following steps to avoid card mismatch:

Step 1   Upgrade BXM firmware to MEC.

Step 2   Upgrade BCC software to 9.2.30 or higher.

Step 3   Upgrade BXM firmware to MEF.


For all other cases, do the following steps:

Step 1   Upgrade BXM firmware to MEF.

Step 2   Upgrade BCC software to 9.2.30 or higher.


Note    See the Compatibility Matrix for the exact versions to be used

7. Procedure for Adding New BCC cards as a Part of Upgrading to the 9.2 Release

8. Upgrading VSI 1.1 in release 9.1 to VSI 2.2 in release 9.2

Step 1   Upgrade the Tag Switch Controller (TSC)

The TSC is upgraded to CoS VSI Version capable release (IOS 12.XX). This image is VSI bilingual, meaning it understands both VSI Version 1 and Version 2.

Step 2   Upgrade the BXMs

All the BXM cards in the node are upgraded to Revision E, which is VSI Version 2 and CoS capable. After each BXM card is downloaded with the Revision E image, it temporarily experiences VSI outage until the BCC software is upgraded to the 9.2.10 image. The VSI outage during the upgrade is caused by the Revision E firmware not being backward compatible with VSI Version 1 features.

Note that from the TSC perspective, after a BXM is upgraded to Revision E image the interfaces that used to be on the card will "disappear." The TDP sessions that were on the interfaces will be lost. When all the BXMs are upgraded to the Revision E while still running Release 9.1 software on the BCC, the node will experience a complete outage of MPLS traffic. Autoroute will have a hitless upgrade.

Step 3   Upgrade the BCC

As the BCC is upgraded from software Release 9.1 to Release 9.2.31, the BCC recognizes the Revision E BXMs and downloads the VSI partition configuration. This causes the BXMs to issue ifc cfg traps to the TSC, allowing the TSC to rediscover all the MPLS interfaces on the BPX. The TDP sessions are reestablished and MPLS traffic starts flowing again through the BPX.


Note   The VSI 1.1 and VSI 2.2 are not interoperable.

Revision Interoperability Supported

Revision Interoperating upgrades are supported, from the 9.1 to 9.2 releases of switch software, with Secondary Revision Incorporation for Network Lowest Revision. This will lessen the risk of new features being enabled in a mixed network after the downgrade.

"Secondary Revision" field in the node is used for the determination of the network lowest revision. Previous to this change, software uses only the nodes primary revision. The interoperability functionality uses network lowest revision for:

Version Compatibility Notes

For a complete list of firmware revisions supported, see the Compatibility Matrix document, which is included in this release package.

Control Card Requirements

All processor cards must be configured with a minimum of 32 MB of RAM. This includes BCC's and NPMs. NPMs require at least 1 MB of BRAM. To verify the BRAM size on IGX 8400 nodes, use the dspcd command.

Note   If any control cards contain less than 32 MB of DRAM (these would be NPMs) then they must be replaced with cards containing at least 32MB of DRAM prior to upgrading to Release 9.2. The physical upgrade of the nodes with these control cards must be done according to the upgrade procedure defined below.

Control Card Boot Firmware Requirements

As specified below, the correct version of CC boot firmware must be installed on the cards prior to a software upgrade to Release 9.2

.

BCC Type  Firmware 

BCC-32

H.B.J

BCC-3-32

H.C.M

BCC-3-64

H.D.M

BCC-4

H.E.M.

BCC-4V

NPM Type  Firmware 

NPM-32

R.B.S

NPM-64

R.C.S

NPM-32B

R.E.S

NPM-64B

R.F.S

With the new version of NPM boot code (RXS), the boot code upgrading does not require physical card resetting with the following steps:

Step 1   Burn the boot code on the active NPM (1).

Step 2   Execute the switchcc command and wait until the NPM(1) becomes standby. NPM(2) is now active.

Step 3   Execute the resetcd command to reset the standby (resetcd 1 h). Wait until the reset card NPM(1) becomes standby.

Step 4   Burn the boot code on the active NPM(2).

Step 5   Execute the switchcc command and wait until the NPM(2) becomes standby. NPM(1) is now active.

Step 6   Execute the resetcd command to reset the standby (resetcd 2 h). Wait until the reset card NPM(2) become Istanbul.


Control Card Compatibility Requirements

Each redundant pair of BCC cards in a given BPX 8600 node must be of the identical type and memory configuration. That is, for example, if the active card is a BCC-3-32, then so must be the standby. BCC-3 cards with 32MB of RAM can not be mixed with BCC-3 cards with 64MB of RAM.

Each redundant pair of NPM cards in a given IGX 8400 node must be of the identical type and memory configuration. That is, for example, if the active card is an NPM-32, then so must be the standby. NPM cards with 32MB of RAM cannot be mixed with NPM cards with 64MB of RAM. Also, NPM-64 cards cannot be mixed with NPM-64B cards.

This is a requirement for all software upgrade and downgrade procedures. It does not apply to the physical card upgrade procedure, as described below.

Control Card Physical Card Upgrade Procedure

When performing a Control Card (CC) upgrade, the following procedure must be used. This applies to all processors: BCCs, and/or NPMs.

Step 1   Remove the current standby CC front and back card. (Remove back card only apply to BCC).

Step 2   Replace with new CC front and back cards. (Replace back card only apply to BCC)

Step 3   Wait for the standby updates on the newly installed standby CC to complete.

Step 4   Issue a switchcc command to utilize the newly installed CC.

Step 5   Verify that the network is stable.

Step 6   Remove the current standby CC front and back card. (Remove back card only apply to BCC)

Step 7   Replace with new CC front and back cards that are identical to the current active CC. (Replace back card only apply to BCC)

Step 8   Wait for the standby updates on the newly installed standby CC to complete.

Step 9   The CC physical upgrade is now complete.

Step 10   With the secondary card in the standby state, cause a switchover using the switchcc command. This will test that the hardware is working correctly.


Note   After Step 2, the node will contain a mix of an old type CC and the new type CC. This condition is only permitted while the standby updates to the new CC are in progress, which will take less than one hour. The time during which this mixture of CC types exists must be kept to a minimum, by immediately replacing the second old type CC with the matching one of the new type.

Notes & Cautions

Additional Notes

1. Switch Software Release 9.2 is not compatible with UXM Firmware Model A.

2. If attempting to burn UXM firmware Model B into an UXM firmware Model A with 9.2 software, the firmware Model B will not be burned into the UXM card due to the incompatibility of software 9.2 and UXM Firmware Model A. The UXM has to be returned to Cisco for service.

3. If using M.E.A/M.E.B/M.E.C BXM firmware and upgrading to M.E.D or later, the 9.2.30 or later software has to be upgraded first so that the BXM will report 2 port groups for 2 port cards all the time. The smooth transition between the earlier 1 port group and the newly reported 2 port groups also displays message in dspcd "Inconsistency with logical PG #" (port group number). All earlier software will mismatch the card. This applied to BXM-OC3 or BXM-OC12 and configure to channel stat level 2 or higher.

4. Firmware MED and earlier supports APS Redundancy on Legacy BXM only.

5. Because of the hardware limitation, BXM hardware is not able to recognize all user programmed cell transmission rates. Rather only discrete transmission rates can be used instead.

The equation below shows what the BXM hardware actually transmits given a user configured cell rate. The transmitted cell rate is always less than or equal to the configured cell rate. To prevent any cell loss, the transmitted cell rate must be equal to the configured rate. To do so, a cell rate must be chosen from the table below.

The rate table below lists the highest 200 cell rates supported be BXM such that if used, will result in no cell loss (given cell traffic is less than configured cell rate). Additional rates can be calculated using 1470588/[n + (1/256)], where n is an integer.

The logic to calculate the actual cell transmission rate in a BXM card is as followed:

if (configured cell rate == full line cell rate) then
     transmitted cell rate = full line cell rate

else
     transmitted cell rate = from equation below or from table below


Example:

If a trunk is configured at 100,000 cps, the actual transmitted cell rate is then 98,013 cps, any traffic sent over 98,013 cps would be discarded.

If a trunk is configured at 98,013 cps, then the actual transmitted cell rate is 98,013 cps with no cell loss.

Therefore, only rates in the table should be used. Otherwise, cell loss may be experienced. The table will not be exhausted at the end but still go on with the computing from the above equation.

6. On the BPX with MGX 8220 feeder(s), regardless of the setting of the Node Parameter "42 Enable Feeder Alert", a feeder alert message will be sent to all MGX 8220 feeders immediately before a hitless rebuild takes place. The feeder alert message will temporarily disable the LMI polling from the MGX 8220 feeders. The MGX 8220 polling will resume as soon as the BPX is ready to exchange LMI messages.

7. The amount of traffic allowed on a VP Tunneling connection is 2/3 bandwidth of that connection. The minimum bandwidth must be 100 cells per second. For example, CBR connection with peak cell rate 1500 cps then can pass traffic up to 1000 cps.

8. For IMA trunk, the configuration is blocked if the converted cps (cells per second) of the number of links to be decremented is MORE than the transmit rate. (CSCdm71616)

Limitations

1. BME firmware MKA and MKB is not compatible with BPX Switch Software Release 9.2x and later.

2. For Switch Software 9.2, MPLS and PNNI controllers cannot coexist.

3. In Release 9.2.30 and later, nodes might declare a communication break when using the BXM virtual trunking feature. The problem has been observed under the following conditions:

The simplest example follows below:

node_A ------ vtrk ----- node_B -----vtrk -----node_C

On the above diagram, node_B is a virtual trunk share a common port

With this topology, "node_A" sees "node_C" as unreachable and vice-versa; however, "node_A" communicates to "node_B," and "node_B" communicates to "node_C."

Workarounds:

4. When cnfrsrc command is used to delete VSI partitions on an interface, software does not check if any Soft Permanent Virtual Circuit (SPVC) connections exists on that partition. Even if there are SPVC connections on a partition, the partition can be deleted using the cnfrsrc command. The only protection is that the user is provided with a warning when he tries to delete the partition.

If there are SPVC connections on a partition and if the partition is deleted, the SPVC connections will be left in a undefined and un-recoverable state. Hence, before deleting a VSI partition, ensure that all the SPVC connections are deleted on that partition.

5. Switch software 9.2.30 or later and BXM firmware MEF support the attachment of multiple VSI controllers to the BPX. In case of MPLS, however, only one LSC should be attached to the BPX. If multiple LSCs are attached to the BPX, the results are unpredictable.

Switch software 9.2.30 or later and BXM firmware MFB support the attachment of multiple VSI controllers to the BPX. In case of MPLS, however, only one LSC should be attached to a VSI partition. If multiple LSCs are attached to a VSI partition, the results are unpredictable.

6. For UVM cards, there will be no new revisions of Model-A firmware. When attempting to download Model-A firmware to a UVM, software will give the user an error message indicating that the firmware does not match the card type. Note that there is no problem with continuing to use existing UVM cards running the old firmware. (CSCdp08741)

7. There is a new traffic class added in release 9.2.20 that causes a trunk parameter conflict with pre-9.2.20 node. The conflict fails adding trunk between 9.2.20 BTM/ATM and pre- 9.2.20 BTM/ATM.

All ATM traffic classes are set for BTM/ALM trunks and is hidden to user. Introducing of rt-VBR traffic class in 9.2.20 makes it different from pre-9.2.20 BTM/ALM trunk traffic class. The user can not change ATM traffic class for BTM/ALM trunk.

This problem exists with a new BTM/ALM trunk on an upgraded 9.2.20 node and does not exist with an upgraded BTM/ALM trunk since the rt-VBR traffic class is not set while upgrading. (CSCdm64345)

8. The cloud port to which a virtual trunk is connected should have ILMI polling disabled. Otherwise, it could lead to a virtual trunk being clear on one end and declaring Virtual Trunk Path Failure at the other end. (CSCdm52909)

9. In a BPX that contains BCC cards with 64MB, there is no limitation. All 12 available slots can contain BXM or Enhanced-BXM cards.

In a BPX that contains BCC cards with 32MB, a maximum of 10 legacy BXM cards are allowed. If some Enhanced-BXM cards are used in place of BXM, then each Enhanced-BXM will count as two BXM cards.

10. Due to performance reasons, AIS status of connections is not sent to the standby BCC. After switchcc, it may take few minutes to update the AIS status of connections. If dspcon does not show the proper status of AIS or dspalms screen shows incorrect number of AIS, (after switchcc) wait for few minutes so that the status gets updated. (dspalms and dspcon commands show the status of AIS).

11. Hitless Rebuild has similar limitations to that of a "switchcc" and full rebuild:

Some will be re-enabled automatically. These include:

All other stats have to be re-enabled for collection after a hitless rebuild takes place. These mainly include the user stats.

12. UVM cards in y-redundancy will mismatch if one is burned with Idle Code Suppression Firmware and the other is not.

When installing / burning Idle Code Suppression Firmware on UVM pairs, the y-redundancy must be removed, firmware in both UVM cards burned, and then the y-redundancy can be restored.

13. Mismatch is reported when replacing a BXM card with another BXM card that has different Port Group, even though both BXM cards have identical channel number.

14. When upgrading from release 9.1 to 9.2, the 9.1 statistics on BXM/UXM cards are supported to maintain compatibility. However, once a user configures a statistics level in 9.2, he can not configure back to 9.1 stats.

There is no 9.1 stats support for BXM/UXM cards that were shipped with 9.2 firmware since the BXM/UXM card has the default level 1 stats.

Therefore, when using an UXM with 9.2, a user must either:

15. The BXM and UXM channel stat level feature gives these cards the capability of collecting more than 4 statistics per connection. However it is the controller card's limitations, available memory and performance, that indicates how many statistics can actually be collected from the cards and then reported to the Cisco Wan Manager (CWM).

The BCC-3-64 can collect at most 3 interval statistics per connection when there are 16,000 AutoRoute (AR) connections configured on the node. (Interval statistics are those statistics that are reported to the CWM. They are often referred to as TFTP statistics).

You can collect approximately 48,000 statistics (3 x 16,000) on the BCC-3-64. This is approximate because there are many variables that will affect this value such as: are peaks enabled, how many buckets are collected, are all connection of the same type, are trunk, line or port stats enabled, etc.

With this approximation of 48,000 statistics on the BCC-3-64, this then means that as a rough estimate you could enable 32 stats on 1,500 connections, 48 stats on 1,000 connections or 9 stats on 5,000 connections, etc. The approximation formula being:

max_stats_per_connection = 48,000 / number_of_connections

16. In Release 9.1, the UXM card ran a proprietary IMA communication protocol. This protocol matched that used on the MGX 8220 4 IMATM-B cards and hence could be connected together to form a trunk. In release 9.2, we now support standards compliant IMA on the UXM card and the standards compliant IMATM-B on MGX 8220 5.0 is not yet released. Hence, when the network is upgraded to 9.2.00, the UXM will be running compliant IMA protocol and the IMATM-B will still be running the proprietary IMA communication protocol. They will no longer communicate and the trunk will fail. This will be fixed in the MGX 8220 5.0 release containing IMATM-B. However, it should be noted that an upgrade at that time will also incur some amount of downtime as there will be a difference in timing between the MGX 8220 upgrade and the switch software upgrade. There should be no effect to UXM-IMA trunks connected to other UXM-IMA trunks in 9.1 to 9.2 interoperability mode.

17. We allow the transmit rate on an IGX IMA trunk to be altered at the local node with any trunk outage. It is possible that the transmit rates are different at the two ends of an IMA trunk. After this trunk is deleted, we cannot add it back unless the transmit rates are the same.

18. When doing a grouped upgrade from release 9.1 to 9.2, the software error 1427 may be logged on the BPX/IGX node during non-graceful upgrade. This error can be ignored since it is harmless to the network.(CSCdm14613)

19. Reconfiguring trunk parameter may cause connection to be rerouted if the changed bandwidth load is smaller than what was used by the connections that use the trunk.

20. If LMI/ILMI is provided by the BCC:

The maximum possible number of ports on the BPX 8600 that can be configured with LMI/ILMI enabled is 52. However, each BPX will support up to a total of 16 feeder trunks and each feeder trunk will have LMI enabled. That is, if a BPX 8600 is configured with only 2 feeder trunks, then only (52 - 2) = 50 ports can have LMI/ILMI enabled.

If LMI/ILMI is provided by the BXM firmware:

21. Virtual Path Connections with cells whose VCI values are above 4095 will be transmitted correctly if and only if the path is exclusively through BXM trunks and terminate at BXM ports.

22. The feature of CIR=0 for Frame Relay connections is not supported for connections terminating between FRM cards in IGX nodes and FRSM cards in an MGX 8220 shelf.

23. SVC Connections are derouted after decreasing the allocated bandwidth (increasing Stat Reserve). It is the design intent that increasing the statistical reserve will cause SVC conns to derouted and not be rerouted.(See bug CSCst92308).

24. For the loadrev operation, it is important that the Cisco Wan Manager/TFTP buffers are maintained at their default size.

25. Due to a hardware limitation, the BNI trunk will send 13 -15% more traffic than what it is configured for when the trunk is configured for less speed (cps) than the maximum port speed. This is especially important when the BNI trunk is connected to IMATM pairs, which carry less than T3 bandwidth.

26. When using the shift/no-shift feature on a BPX 8600 node's port card, controlled via the cnfport command, the other end of the connection must have the same setting. Otherwise, there will be a loss of continuity.

27. Due to Trunk Based Loading, any commands having to do with trunk loading and the load model (dspload chklm dsplm, etc.) need to be done only after waiting a certain period of time. This time is directly a function of the trunk load update interval time (as configurable) plus the conditional update latency time.

28. The external ABR segment control loop on ForeSight (ABRFST) is an option at the User Interface. It is supported by UXM-E/BXM-E but is not supported by UXM/BXM hardware. The user should not enable this option on ForeSight connections (CSCdi92451). In any case, there is no coupling between the loops.

29. The interface between a BXM feeder trunk and an MGX 8220 feeder is always considered to be an NNI interface. (CSCdj16808)

30. When adding more than 4000 connections on a BPX node, the VC polling rate must be changed to a higher interval, to accommodate the additional time needed to poll for the statistics for each VC. The cnfsysparm command, parameter 24 must be changed according to the following:

0-3999 connections

Polling Rate: 5 Minutes (or higher)

4000-7999 connections

Polling Rate: 10 Minutes (or higher)

> 8000 connections

Polling Rate: 15 Minutes

31. Given a connection that terminates on an IGX 8400 FRM at one end and an ASI on the other end, tstdelay initiated at the FRM end may not work if the ASI firmware is below the appropriate revision and does not support OAM cells as opposed to supervisory cells. This is because the updated BTM on the IGX will always generate OAM cells. Please check the Compatibility Matrix.

32. Because the detailed card error event log is not retained within BRAM, this information will be lost should a processor rebuild occur. Therefore, when issuing a dspcderrs command on a particular slot, the display will not show the detailed card error information should rebuild event occur. This functionality has not been modified from previous releases.

33. When a physical-layer failure (e.g., LOS) is detected on the BXM, a Major Alarm is generated, and any connection routed over that port is downed (Fail state). The software sends a command to the remote end of the connection to generate AIS in the egress direction. (CSCdj30543).

Impact:

Since the connection is in a failed state, AIS is generated in the upstream direction (in addition to the downstream direction). Although this does conform to the letter of the I.610 standard, this is not necessarily what a user would expect to see, because it interferes with the RDI response from the end-to-end connection termination point. (A fault in the downstream direction causes a fault in the upstream direction.)

Reason for the current implementation:

The BNI can not generate AIS. If there is a fault at a BNI trunk, the current mechanism is to cause AIS to be generated by the BXM port by downing the connection. Since the BXM can only generate OAM cells from the RCMP, and the RCMP is in the ingress path, the cells must be backward routed to the egress (egress QE). Also, since end-to-end OAM cells are required, the ingress QE must be configured to drop ALL cells in the ingress path. This creates a break in continuity in the opposite direction, and AIS cells must also be generated at the other end of the same connection, in the upstream direction of the original fault.

34. There are problems in the downgrade mechanism which can cause database corruption. If downgrade is performed immediately after upgrading, the Stby_Info revision fields are not yet filled in on the new active CC. They don't get filled in until the upcard response from the new locked CC. This causes restart instead of a switchcc. If the locked CC is reset, then downgrade immediately, a restart will occur instead of a switchcc. (CSCdj30811).

35. In order to test/simulate the Y-redundant switchover of ASI T3 or E3 pairs the resetcd command must be used, or by pulling out the active card. It will not be correctly simulated by doing a dncd (down card) on the active card. Using dncd will cause cell discards. (CSCdj08923).

36. UBR traffic gains an advantage over ABR traffic when UBR and ABR PVC's are combined on the same network. This is because UBR and ABR PVC's share the same QBIN (Class of Service Queue) on the BXM card. ABR PVC's use a flow control mechanism, VSVD, which ensures that traffic sources slow down when the QBIN usage exceeds the EFCI threshold. However, UBR PVC's do not have this throttling mechanism. Therefore, ABR will throttle back whereas UBR will not. This unfair advantage is not considered a problem, since the decision to share a QBIN for ABR and UBR traffic was intentional. Any best-effort service that one would route over UBR can be routed over ABR(VSVD), with the additional benefit of protecting resources in the network. If UBR and ABR PVC's are required then:

Option 1—Consider adding all best-effort PVC's as UBR, or

Option 2—Isolate the ABR and UBR paths by using cnfpref command to ensure that ABR and UBR PVC's do not share the same queues.

Option 3—To provide UBR service on a connection, rather than setting up a UBR connection, do the following:

Step 1   Set up an ABRSTD connection

Step 2   Enable VSVD

Step 3   Disable FCES (Flow Control External Segment)

Step 4   Disable DEFAULT EXTENDED PARAMETERS

Step 5   Choose policing option "4" to allow access as UBR.1 (PCR policing only). This connection has ABR VSVD in the network and allows UBR.1 access. The MCR for such ABRSTD connection may be set at the minimum acceptable value of 6 cell per second (explained later why doing so).


To provide ABR service on a connection, set up an ABRSTD connection, enable VSVD and enable FCES to allow RM cells to be passed to and from customer equipment. The MCR for such ABRSTD connection can be set at any user desired value.

When the network is experiencing congestion, all the affected ABRSTD connections, regardless of the services (ABR or UBR) they are carrying, will all be throttled back at the VSVD points at the network edge. During network congestion, connections carrying UBR services are virtually stopped (to a through put of mere 6 cps) while connections carrying ABR services can send at a much higher, user desired MCR. This option would avoid that UBR service gains an unfair advantage over ABR service while sharing the same CoS queue.

37. Combining Frame Base Traffic Control (FBTC) and non-FBTC connections within a Class of Service can cause FBTC connections to not receive a fair share of bandwidth. For example, if VBR connections are added at a terminating port, and some of these VBR connections have FBTC enabled while other VBR connections have FBTC disabled, the VBR connections with FBTC disabled may obtain all of the excess bandwidth before the connections with FBTC enabled receive any of the excess bandwidth. The same holds true for ABR or UBR connections. This only is relevant where FBTC and non-FBTC connections share a QBIN, either at a port or at a trunk.

38. The maximum number of VC PARMs supported: 749 for BCC-32 MB, 2,999 for BCC-64 MB. (CSCdj48589).

VC PARMs are Virtual Circuit Parameters combinations/sets. One set of VC Parameter is used for each unique Virtual Circuit that has been provisioned. Identically provisioned VC's (exclusive of endpoints) use the same set of parameters. Thus, on a 32MB BCC, a total of 749 uniquely configured Virtual Circuits can be provisioned.

39. Care must be taken when changing the Deroute Delay parameter, which is controlled by the cnftrk command. This defaults to zero, but if set to anything but zero, connection re-routing, due to a trunk failure, will be delayed as provided by the parameter.

Required Workarounds

1. When adding a node into an existing network, ensure that its node number is unique prior to a actually adding it into the network. Use the rnmnd command, and renumber the individual node while it is still stand-alone. This will make the joining of this node much simpler, and will avoid the problem of node renumbering an active network, as described below.

2. There is a problem with node renumbering. Node renumbering (the rnmnd command) should be executed only during a stable network environment and only if absolutely necessary. A stable network environment would be, for example, one in which no connection was added for the past 30 minutes and no topology change was made in the last hour and there are no alarms or node unreachabilities. Node renumbering must only be done when the network is stable to reduce the possibility of certain temporarily blocked messages during the node renumbering process being delivered to the wrong nodes. This would occur after the completion of the node renumbering process.It is recommended that a node be renumbered prior to being added to the network.

3. The settling time for network wide updates can take a long time in certain situations. Specifically, the settling time for updates due to network wide topology changes and connections in a large network when a processor switchover occurs can take a long time. The time is proportional to the number of nodes as well as the number of connections. A general estimate would be 30 seconds per node. During the period of transitions (when the updates are occurring) some network operations such as adding connections might in some cases take somewhat longer to complete.

4. When using Cisco Wan Manager, there could be a problem with communicating with a node that just had a processor switchover. The problem is within the SPARCstation itself and its caching of EtherNet addresses. It can be solved by execution the following command on the workstation as the superuser: # arp -d <node_name>

5. Users may not use the command addcon slot.1-24 v to add 24 voice connections to a CVM/UVM at once. Instead, they must separate this activity into two or more commands, so that no more than 16 connections are added at once. This is only an issue for voice connections. Data connections can be added using the "1-24" syntax. This also applies when the CVM/UVM circuit line is an E1, in which case "1-32" would apply. (CSCdj14319)

6. Statistics must be disabled prior to the start of an upgrade, prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command. Stats should be disabled from Cisco Wan Manager which is Stats collection manager.

7. Statistics sampling must be disabled prior to the start of an upgrade (using off1/off2), prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command. Stats sampling state machine should be disabled from Command Line Interface.

8. When a switchcc is executed on a BPX 8600 configured with two BCC-4 cards and contains a BXM-622 trunk card, there may be a bad clock path problem reported. It is indicated as a Minor Alarm - bad clock path. This is a transitory problem, although the alarm indication persists. To clear this, execute the clrclkalm command.

Additional Documentation

In order to take advantage of the dual SIU when upgrading to the BCC-4, the BPX 8600 node must have a new back plane which has dual traces incorporating with the BCC-4.

The command dspbpnv can be issued to verify if the node had the new back plane or the old back plane. The following table details the bit fields for the BCC Backplane NOVRAM format, the display of word 2 describes the back plane type

The command cnfbpnv can be used to set the backplane to new.

On the node on which it is executed, creates a loop back within the port such that the cells do not leave the card.

On the node on which it is executed, creates a loop such that incoming cells are looped back to the other end.

Removes the loopback added by either of the above two commands.

This will enable the card synchronization feature.

This will disable the card synchronization feature.

In order for the feature to work, the line statistics sampling should always be enabled (via on2 1 command) and the front card installed must support the card synchronization feature. The dspcd command provides any easy way to determine whether the front card supports this new feature. If the front card supports the feature, the following message is shown on the dspcd screen:

Front card supports card synchronization

Additional debug commands are added to allow synchronization between the interface card and the CC database:

<slot_number> for a particular slot that supports the card synchronization feature; * for all cards that support the card synchronization feature.

This command displays the number of connections reconciled during the synchronization process after a switchcc for different slots.

* for all slots supporting this feature.

Compatibility Notes

For a complete list of firmware revisions supported, see the Compatibility Matrix document, which is included in this release package.

This release will run with Release 4.0.0x, 4.1.0x, or 5.0.0x of the MGX 8220.

Known Anomalies

The following is the list of known anomalies in this Switch Software delivery. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem. A more in depth discussion is available in the release note enclosure of the problem record in Bug Navigator.

Bug ID   Description 

CSCdk04032

Symptom:

UVM connections do not show slot number in the event log, and show the incorrect channel number if the connection terminates on the second line.

Conditions:

The defect will be observed for any event log entry for a connection terminated on a UVM card. The format of the connection in the event log is displayed as slot.channel, rather than slot.line.channel. The channel displayed is the internal database channel (plus one for display). It is correct, but is not the format expected by the user.

Workaround:

The channel displayed is the actual channel used for the connection, plus one. The UVM has 31 channels for each line. Thus subtract 31 from the channel displayed in the event log for any connection terminating on line 2 of a UVM to get the expected channel for line 2.

Example:

Events for connection: Will be displayed as:

slot.line.channel slot.(((line - 1) * 31) + channel)

9.1.1 9.1 (same if line 1 is T1 or E1)

9.1.24 9.24 (max if line 1 is T1)

9.1.31 9.31 (max if line 1 is E1)

9.2.1 9.32 (same if line 2 is T1 or E1)

9.2.24 9.55 (max if line 2 is T1)

9.2.31 9.62 (max if line 2 is E1)

CSCdk48816

Symptom:

There is no UAS alarming. Spec requires that when we have more than 10 consecutive SES then we should enter UAS. Because this is currently not implemented, no UAS alarm is generated in this situation.

Conditions:

This requires that both firmware and switch software fixes to the following bugs must be present to fix this problem.

CSCdk48827 - Firmware bug to fix the thresholds for SES to kick in. This is fixed in firmware image BXMMCB or later images. CSCdk48816 - The software portion of this problem to alarm based on UAS. Without the software fix to this bug, customer cannot upgrade firmware beyond MBY because when we enter UAS, per specification, we stop counting Bip8 ES and SES - as such we will not have alarming on ES as well as no alarming on SES. MBY provides a temporary fix to keep the ES alarming on by raising this threshold.

Workaround:

Work around is to continue to use MBY which will prevent SES alarming to kick in. The side effect is that this will prevent the customer from using the features introduced in the MC firmware.

CSCdk53502

Symptom:

ASI-T3 or ASI-E3 cards using T3-3 or E3-3 backcards show lines as Clear-OK when the line actually should show LOS. (No loopback or other line attached)

Workaround:

Use cnfbkcd to change the backcard to a T3-2 or E3-2 and the line will show LOS status correctly.

CSCdk55887

Symptom:

dspport command is not available to level 6 user ids.

Conditions:

After upgrade from 7.x software to 8.1+ software.

Workaround:

Increase user privilege.

Further Problem Description:

The privileged level of the dspport command was changed in release 8.1 to level 2 from level 6.

This difference was first noticed by offsite user after upgrade from 7.4 to 8.5.05.

User who running 8.x.x software hasn't noticed this difference until opening of this problem.

CSCdk80347

Symptom:

NPM 2 restarted due to a Watchdog Timeout

Conditions:

Happens when you run resetsys command to reset all the cards (except the active NPM card) on an IGX node with lot of active connections. When the standby NPM comes up, the event log mentions that:

"NPM 2 Restarted due to a Watchdog Timeout" where 2 refers to the slot number of the standby NPM card.

Workaround:

This does not affect any functionality except for the above log. Instead of running the resetsys command, individually reset the cards using resetcd command.

CSCdm22241

Symptom:

Using the dspchstats on a BXM there are missing value's

Condition:

During 9.1.08 system software testing the lab personnel discovered that the BXM statistics usually recorded in an enhancement in switch software 8.4.09 has been removed.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdm24020

Symptoms:

1.) A hitless rebuild was done on a slave node while the master rerouting some connections.

2.) There is a remote chance that, when the rebuild occurs slave has not finished routing on its side. The connections remain as derouted on the slave side but are routed on the master.

Conditions:

1.) Rebuild the slave when connections are being routed from the master side.

Workaround:

1.) The command rrtcon will fix it.

CSCdm50600

Symptom:

Zero length frames sent from NPM.

Condition:

The UXM is configured as feeder trunk from SES shelf through OC3 line. System reports 103 software error every hour causing UXM card resets, with and without passing traffic.

Workaround:

None

CSCdm60702

Symptom:

When a bus error occurs on a node, and a rebuild results, other nodes in the network will see the rebuilding node in the degraded state. This shows up as "UNDeg" in the dspnds screen. A log message will also appear on these other nodes indicating that the rebuilding node went unreachable due to degradation. The unreachability will recover automatically.

Conditions:

Only occurs if a node rebuilds due to a bus error, and degraded mode is enabled in cnfnodeparm. Will not occur if a node switches processors due to a bus error.

Workaround:

None. No adverse effects.

CSCdm60707

Symptom:

It takes longer than expected to clear unreachability with a node that has rebuilt due to a bus error. Other nodes in the network will declare the node unreachable due to degradation ("UNDeg"). The unreachability will eventually clear automatically.

Conditions:

Only occurs if a node rebuilds due to a bus error, and if degraded mode is enabled in cnfnodeparm on that node.

Workaround:

None needed. Problem clears automatically.

CSCdm87788

Symptom:

The BXM-T3 line is configured to be in the Direct-mapping (HEC) mode and the CAC override is Disable at the port. When attempting to add a single connection to a BXM-T3 line with a PCR=104268cps, the system rejects and return an error "CAC override disabled on port". This indicates that the request will over subscribe on the line but in fact it is NOT

Conditions:

CAC override is Disabled. BXM-T3 line is set for Direct-mapping (HEC). Attempt to add connection with PCR=104268.

Workaround:

Set CAC override to Enable

CSCdp22655

Symptom:

tstdelay fails

Condition:

tstdelay on a remote looped connection (through addrmtlp), it fails.

Workaround:

do dncon and upcon on the looped connection

CSCdp22795

Symptom:

APS lines switched Trap 20105 is not received for all events

Workaround:

None

CSCdp28999

Symptom:

Potentially one SNMP SET operation to modify variables in might be partially completed.

Condition:

If one SNMP SET operation tried to modify atmPortType, atmPortVcShaping with other variables in atmPortTable and the SET is failed due to the switch's internal problem, some parameters might be set with the new values.

Workaround:

Do 3 separated SETs: one for atmPortType, one for atmPortVcShaping and one for other variables.

CSCdp34846

Symptom:

Software errors 3017 were logged during the graceful upgrade from 9.2.3L to 9.2.3M.

Condition:

The software error 3017 seem to happen only on one particular igx feeder node, we have not seen any other IGX node or BPX node having the same software error.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp35148

Symptom:

IGX node stopped responding to console and lan port. Node logged Abort 3000000, software error 504 and multiple software error 52's. Node had to be powered off and on to clear problem. This problem occurred immediately after configuring a UXM. This appears to be CBUS flooding issue.

Conditions:

Unknown

Workaround

Instead of powering down the node immediately, pull out the cards in the node one by one in order to reset a card that is possibly flooding the processor.

CSCdp50871

Symptom:

upln on ALM-A cards fails when using snmp.

Condition:

snmp set was given for an ALM-A card as follows:

switchIfAdmStatus Up(1) switchIfService atmAccessPort (3)

Workaround:

Use CLI command 'upln'

CSCdp57089

Symptom:

After joining a network running a 9.1.19 test version (9.1.1W) with another network running 9.2.22, one of the 9.1.19 nodes was reported as unreachable. All 9.2.22 nodes saw the node as unreachable. The node was reachable from all nodes in the 9.1.19 network.

Note: This condition could not be reproduced.

Workaround:

Delete and re-add the trunk connecting the two networks.

CSCdp57264

Symptom:

ILMI manage works only on one sub-interface.

Condition:

On c7500, if multiple sub-interface are configured on an ATM interface connected to BPX, each of sub-interfaces with 1 PVC and BPX is configured to send ILMI traps, when the PVCs' state is changed on BPX, BPX will send out trap for all the PVCs but c7500 only brings down one sub-interface (one pvc).

Workaround:

None

CSCdp61204

Symptom:

This problem is applicable to the SPVCs in the BPX+SES configuration. SPVC on the MGX8850 does not have this problem.

Workaround:

It is recommended that the network administrator check for SPVCs endpoints on a particular port (using dspspvcs on the SES controller) before modifying the corresponding resource partition on the BPX (reduction of resources) or before deleting the corresponding resource partition.

If there are any SPVCs on the port of interested, unless those SPVCs can be deleted first, DO NOT delete the resource partition corresponding to that UNI port or reduce the resources on that resource partition.

This restriction applies to dax as well as internode SPVCs.

CSCdp63917

Symptom:

Software error 1000003 was logged.

Condition:

BPX node was running 9.2.22 software release.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp65503

Symptom:

Node reports trunk fail when resetcd (APS trunk)

Condition:

Both trunks in fail for a while after resetting BXM card 12 and then 11.

Workaround:

Wait until the standby card finishes programming, and then do a resetcd.

CSCdp72652

Symptom:

The BPX node running with bad cross point.

Condition:

BPX node does not switch when bad cross point detected.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp74165

Symptom:

Can not upgrade from BXM to BXM-E

Condition:

BXM to BXM-E migration requires MF firmware revision on BXM cards.

Workaround:

All BXM cards must have MF firmware revision on r9.2 bpxs before switch software is upgraded to the one containing this feature.

CSCdp81744

Symptom:

Inverse Mux Failure appears after upping IMA line or trunk and does not clear.

Condition:

Occurs when upping an IMA line or trunk. Have only seen on T1. Have only seen when use a combination of upln/uptrk to bring up the primary line followed by cnfln/cnftrk to add the remaining IMA group members.

Workaround:

Up the line or trunk quickly on both ends using the upln or uptrk command to include all the physical lines of the IMA group. That is, do NOT use upln/uptrk and then use cnfln/cnftrk to add the group members.

CSCdp82740

Symptom:

Unreachable nodes.

Conditions:

Three nodes connected by BXM virtual trunks with software revision 9.2.30 and firmware revision M.E.D. The node in the middle can reach the nodes on both ends. The node on either end can not reach each other.

Workaround:

Upgrade firmware revision

CSCdp85319

Symptom:

The maxVPC Conid field of a trunk is not retained after switchcc/node rebuild. Hence, if we have VSI partitions on an added trunk, and if one of the nodes undergoes switchcc or rebuild, there will be VPC Conid mismatch on both sides of the trunk. This may result in some VPIs being used by both VSI and Auto Route VPC connections.

Condition:

This happens only on an added trunk and only if it has VSI partitions on the trunk interface.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp87448

Symptom:

Node reported software error 3000 after up BXM trunk.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp89369

Symptom:

Software error is seen on BPX after switch Yred

Conditions:

Switch Yred on the BXM cards that have different stat level 1 and 2 or 0 and 2.

Workaround:,

None

CSCdp90745

Symptom:

snmp returns error pvc not deleted but pvc removed from node (16kBPX). BPX CPU loading related to lack of snmp response.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp96286

Symptom:

APS has problem with switching request.

Conditions:

APS is not responding properly to "clear manual switch" request.

Workaround:

None

Problems Fixed in Release 9.2.31

Following is the list of fixed problems in the 9.2.31 Switch Software release. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem.

Bug ID   Description 

CSCdk15523

Problem:

Integer overflow results in computation in get_bc function.

Workaround

Use 'VC Q Depth' & 'PIR', instead of Frame Relay Standard parameters 'bc' & 'be'.

CSCdk22052

Symptom:

Switchcc event logged under trapd.log even when the command is cancelled by user due to updates pending on the node or it is aborted by Switch Software.

Conditions:

Updates pending or standby is not in good health.

Workaround:

Do not switchcc when update pending or standby is not in good health.

Further Problem Description:

Switchcc event is logged by CWM as soon as the user executes switchcc. But if the user cancels the switchcc for some reason like updates pending etc., CWM does not log any event about this cancellation. The same is problem even if SWSW aborts switchcc due to some reason like "standby not online" etc....

CSCdk45354

Symptom:

Equipment connected to HDM reports 'clock error'.

Conditions:

HDM<->UVM data connection.

Workaround:

None

CSCdk60213

SYMPTOMS:

Traffic interrupted (errors occur on external equipment) when background diagnostic tests are executed.

The following background test failure may result:

Last Test Packet Transmitted (Payload Only): 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F

Last Test Packet Received (Payload Only): F7 B1 10 0B C6 01 F5 53 A1 65 2D 7B 55 45 9B 0F

Note, the Packet Received is not a sequential pattern which would be typical of background diagnostic test packets, but rather resembles a random pattern typical of user traffic.

CIRCUMSTANCES:

This occurs when the customer traffic bandwidth is very near the bandwidth allocation on the cell bus (within 400 packets/s). For example, an HDM with two 1152 kb/s 7/8 coded ports is allocated 8 UBUs (as per dspubus) (equivalent to 8*2,000, or 16,000 packets/second bandwidth). The bandwidth required for these connections is:

2 * 1,152,000 bits/s / (168 * 7/8) bits/packet = 15,673 packets/s

leaving 327 packets/s spare.

The HDM background diagnostic test consumes approx. 400 packets/s, and thus does not have enough bandwidth to run.

FREQUENCY:

This symptom is 100% reproducible given the above circumstances.

RESOLUTION:

Disable HDM background diagnostics using "cnftstparm"

- or - Add dummy connections to unused HDM ports in order to prevent the "data channel" portion of the background diagnostic

- or - Add a dummy connection to an unused port in such a way to ensure the allocated bandwidth is more than 400 packets/s greater than the actual bandwidth consumed by the HDM.

- or - to be fixed in IGX System Software

CSCdm10213

Symptom:

After upgrading to release 9.1 or a switchcc in 9.1, there is some connection database corruption. You can dspcon on one end but dspcon on the other end shows the connection does not exist. dspchstats on one end ok but the other end shows the connection does not exist.

Cards previously without connections, may have new connections.

Conditions:

The active CC has conns to a remote node. After a switchcc extra connections appear. These connections appear on a slot which matches to remote node's slot number.

There is an extra logical endpoint for the connection. dcct of the connection shows the OE LCN non-zero, even though the connection actually terminates on another node. The OE LCN field should be set to a non-zero value only for dax conns.

This is a side affect of CSCdk06460 where the LCN and OE LCN fields are not initialized during an addcon.

CSCdm26083

Symptom:

When dsptrkbob is executed on yred secondary card for NTM with BC-SR subrate trunk back card software errors 30 and 923 are logged.

If no trunk is upped on primary card execution of dsptrkbob on primary card causes the same software errors to be logged.

swerr 30 - INV_TA_SLOT(Invalid slot found in TRUNK_ADDR)

swerr 923 - INV_LTRUNK (Invalid logical trunk number)

Conditions:

Normal conditions for secondary card and no trunk is up for primary card.

Workaround:

None

CSCdm46032

Symptom:

The SNMP agent on IGX incorrectly reports the interface type of an ALM/A line as 'atmRoutingTrk'. The type should be 'atmAccessPort'.

Workaround:

None

CSCdm47765

Symptom:

VT will cause memory leak and fragmentation in the Dynamic region.

Conditions:

It appears in all conditions. The commands are a subsequent vt and bye with any number of commands in between the above two commands.

Workaround:

switchcc will clear the leak and fragmentation

Further Problem Description:

When a vt is performed on a node, the node that is being VT'ed is experiencing memory leak in dynamic region (exactly one block). Substantial amount of leak can be observed by doing multiple VT's from 100 to 500 times.

CSCdm68968

Symptom:

The problem is related to the VCQDepth setting that stays at its default value (65535) even if we change it.

Conditions:

This scenario happens only if we add the connection between a routing and a feeder node (IGX).

Workaround:

None

Further Problem Description:

Unable to change vc_q value of ATFR connection but able to change for FR connections.

CSCdm75577

Symptom:

Traffic gets 100% discarded when connection is added through Cisco Wan Manager with IGX as master. The connection is between UFM-C on IGX to BXM on BPX.

Conditions:

Connection is added through CWM with IGX as master.

Workaround:

(1) Add the connection through CLI from IGX/BPX side.

(2) Add the connection through CWM with BPX as MASTER.

(3) For existing NON-WORKING connections:

DO THE FOLLOWING THREE STEPS ON BPX

Step1: Using cnfcon cmd configure the Vc_Q value ALONE to some value DIFFERENT from the current value (on BPX).

Step2: Again using cnfcon cmd configure the Vc_Q value ALONE to original Value (on BPX).

Repeat the above two steps for all the connections.

Step3: Now reset BXM card on BPX (CMD: resetcd <BXM_SLOT_NUM> h)

CSCdm77271

Symptom:

UVM channel upgraded to full DS0 rate even the modem detection configuration is disabled. The full DS0 rate remains unchanged even a modem session is over.

Conditions:

This problem occurs when a modem session is detected while the modem detection configuration is disabled.

Workaround:

If User disables modem detection for a channel and then a modem upgrade detection is reported to SWSW, the channel will be programmed for 64K full rate and will never go back to compressed rate.

If user is interested in getting a work around for this problem please follow the procedure below.

1. Enable the modem detection for the channel.

2. Send a fax to the channel. when the fax is complete the channel should go back to compressed rate.

But if user wants to find a way to refrain the channel from going to full rate while retaining the modem detection configuration disabled then there is no work around.

CSCdm87788

Symptom:

The BXM-T3 line is configured to be in the Direct-mapping (HEC) mode and the CAC override is Disable at the port. When attempting to add a single connection to a BXM-T3 line with a PCR=104268cps, the system rejects and return an error "CAC override disabled on port". This indicates that the request will over subscribe on the line but in fact it is NOT

Conditions:

CAC override is Disabled. BXM-T3 line is set for Direct-mapping (HEC). Attempt to add connection with PCR=104268.

Workaround:

Set CAC override to Enable. Use cnfrsrc to configure PVC BW for that port to a new value. This is the value available to user for adding connections.

CSCdm91529

Symptom:

Screen flickers when dspnds -p is done

Condition:

When number of node is greater than 14.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp07967

Symptom:

The standby CC goes into update and stays there until stats updates to the standby are turned off (off2 16)

Conditions:

This seems to be limited to nodes with a high number of voice cards and voice connections enabled (IGX with CVMs and/or UVMs).

Workaround:

The command off2 16 can be performed, this keeps the active card from updating the standby with statistics information. If a switchcc is performed, there is the potential of losing one 'bucket interval' of statistics.

If statistics must be collected, limit the number of statistics. Frame Relay statistics are reported to the standby CC at 5 minute intervals (configurable up to 15 minutes). Most voice statistics are reported at 1 minute intervals, but the following statistics are reported at 3 second intervals:

1. Seconds V.25 Modem On

2. Seconds DSI Enabled

3. Seconds Off-Hook

4. Seconds In Service

These statistics are reported to the standby CC at a rate 20 times higher than statistics reported once a minute. These statistics should not be collected on nodes that are experiencing the standby CC update problem.

The alternative is to have the standby in a non updated state. We have confirmed that the standby card does not get the complete VC database before it 'hangs' in update state. In this state there is no CC redundancy. If there is a problem with the active CC which would cause a switch to a redundant CC, the node will rebuild or enter degraded mode (depending on the problem). If the active CC is removed the standby CC will take control with an incomplete database. There will be inconsistencies with other nodes, which the system will try to clean up. This clean up will include the removal of the connections which were not sent to the standby CC before the update hung. It is recommended that the node not be allowed left with the standby CC hung in "Update" state.

Further Problem Description:

This problem also impacts processor utilization, and we have seen a 10 - 15% recovery of idle time when turning off standby updates.

CSCdp09854

Symptom:

Using SNMP GET to read the PVC MAX bandwidth for a trunk interface, in rsrcPartiTable returns an invalid value of 0.

Condition:

Performing SNMP get on an entry in the rsrcPartiTable in the switch MIB.

Workaround:

There is no workaround for this problem, but the user can use the CLI command dsprsrc to display the PVC MAX BW for a trunk interface.

CSCdp15350

Symptom:

SNMP GET-NEXT does not work on frLportStatTable, SNMP GET on the elements in the table works.

Conditions:

Normal Conditions

Workaround:

Use SNMP-GET to access this table.

Further Problem Description:

The SNMP AGENT for this table frLportStatTable is not responding correctly to SNMP GET-NEXT Requests.

CSCdp25034

Symptom:

From the point of view of some nodes, a node or nodes get removed from the network. To correct the topology, nodes must be deleted and re-added to the network.

Conditions:

Although the conditions that cause this problem have never been precisely nailed down, it is believed that this occurs when there is heavy network communication going on. External events like trunk outages or node failures can cause the kind of traffic that can lead to this problem. In addition, there must be communication with Cisco Wan Manager as well.

Workaround:

Possible workarounds include:

1. Reduce the number of CWM stations attached to the network.

2. Monitor closely problems that can cause network messaging and eliminate them as quickly as possible.

3. Reduce other parameters that can lead to heavy network messaging, e.g. statistics collection.

CSCdp27598

Symptom:

Unable to enable echo canceller.

Warning issued:

Last Command: cnfchec 15.1.11 e e e e

Warning: Channel Pair Problem

Next Command:

Conditions:

Customer experienced echo on a channel, so they disabled echo cancellation on that one channel, then tried to re-enable it.

Workaround:

Configure the adjacent channel pair to be the same a-law/U-law configuration.

CSCdp32422

Symptom:

Addlnlocrmtlp does not loop traffic properly for APS 1+1 when traffic is shunted between Backcards.

Conditions:

Traffic is not looped back and instead transferred through to the opposite end when active front card is not the same as the back card.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp32490

Symptom:

Secondary CC transitions from UPGRADED to STANDBY after its backcard was pulled and then re-inserted.

Conditions:

Customer must be upgrading their software and at the point where the primary controller card (CC) is in the active state and running the old software revision and the secondary CC has reached the UPGRADED state while running the new software revision.

At this point if the following steps are done:

1) Remove the secondary CC's back card

2) Remove the primary CC's back card

3) Reinsert the primary CC's back card

4) Reinsert the secondary CC's back card

The primary CC's comes back as active, as desired, however the secondary CC comes back as STANDBY rather than UPGRADED.

NOTE: other combination of CC back card removal may result in the same effect.

Workaround:

In order to get the secondary CC back into the UPGRADED state, it must be reset by using the resetcd command, or by physically pulling and re-inserting the secondary CC's front card.

Impact:

When the secondary CC is STANDBY rather than UPGRADED, the upgrade process is in an unknown state, and upgrades on this node are at risk.

The secondary CC's state of UPGRADED protects the node from spontaneously upgrading to the new release due to a primary CC failure, when the secondary card is running the new revision and in the STANDBY mode, this protection is no longer there.

CSCdp32760

Symptom:

Low memory reported on active/standby NPM/BCC.

Condition:

cnfln was given a number of times on a line on which 'Line Stat Sampling' is enabled (on2 1). The command was given on the other processor card, i.e. not on which the memory is reported to below.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp32823

Symptom:

A slow user interface may be noticed. dspprf shows sustained high RT usage in the FAIL process (over 20%). fhstats shows high RT usage for events 0 and 47.

Conditions:

IGX with several cards (FRM or UFM) that have at least one port with NNI enabled.

Workaround:

1. Reduce the number of cards with NNI enabled on at least one port (reduce event 47 on the fhstats display).

2. Reduce the time spent checking for major and minor alarms (reduce the time for each 0 event on the fhstats display) by inducing a major alarm (line or trunk) and minor alarm (line, trunk, clock source, or power supply) on the node.

Further Problem Description:

A lab node was configured with one NNI port enabled on each of 8 frame relay cards. The measurements below were taken without any connections on the ports (and thus no a-bit alarms).

Proc RT HSds LSds

All NNI ports inactive FAIL 2 1 0 (baseline)

Activated 8 NNI ports FAIL 22 2 0 (20% over)

Failed clock source (minor alarm) FAIL 13 7 0 (10% over)

Failed trunk (major alarm) FAIL 13 2 0 (10% over)

Both failed trunk and clock source FAIL 2 0 0 (0% over)

This shows that the FAIL process RT increase was reduced by about half by inducing a major trunk alarm, or a minor clock failure. If both a major trunk alarm and a minor clock failure are induced, the FAIL process RT is reduced to the baseline usage.

This reduction is obtained by avoiding the data structure checks for minor and major alarms. If an error is induced in the first structure checked for major alarms (lines and trunks), the routine checking for major alarms returns true, and no other structures are checked for major alarms. If an error is induced in one of the first structures checked for a minor alarm (preferably a minor line alarm or power supply alarm, but a clock fail also works), the routine checking for minor alarms returns true, and no other structures are checked.

CSCdp34687

Symptom:

Comm Break every 5 seconds on a BPX running 9.2.22 without any apparent reasons. nwstats on the destination node shows growing number of Bad Coerce Bits.

Conditions:

Race condition

Workaround:

Issue the command nwtst <dest node> 2 1on the node experiencing the Comm Break. <dest node> is the node it is in Comm Break.

CSCdp34935

Symptom:

The symbol used in description of the connCurrRouteDesc is not correct for the terrestrial link.

Condition:

The returned string does not use the same symbol used in the DESCRIPTION of connCurrRouteDesc for terrestrial link.

Workaround:

The operation is not affected, so no workaround is needed.

CSCdp35155

Symptom:

LDM card errors with failure type as 'background test failed' or software errors 9000 logged.

Condition:

Hitless rebuild/switchcc/upgrade was performed on the node such that the background tests running on the LDM card got aborted in the middle.

Workaround:

Hardware reset to the LDM card.

CSCdp37572

Problem:

addcon command fails to display connection being added until after the user add confirmation is done.

Workaround:

Use the command display line to see what connection is being added and view against the existing connections after the add is confirmed, or, do dspcons first to see the existing connections.

Additional Information: This DDTS tracks the IGX changes. BPX changes are being tracked in CSCdm22252.

CSCdp39883

Symptom:

Adding a connection with VPI=1 and VCI=0x101 on a NON-LMI, NON-VSI BXM feeder trunk will cause the feeder to go unreachable.

Condition:

This will occur only on non-lmi and non vsi feeder trunk.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp41410

Symptoms:

Fax calls drop out of V25 mode back to voice mode after the first set of queued fax pages have been transmitted.

If the connection is an ADPCM type (a32,c32,a24,c24) then, for the second set, the fax call drops down to a lower speed and continues transmission, which in effect is the same as having a 32K modem upgrade setting in cnfvchparm.

For higher compression rates (g729a) it was observed that the fax call does not go through for the second set since it is no more in pcm mode.

Conditions:

Fax machines are set up so that they queue fax sets with a delay of more than 5 seconds between each set.

Workaround:

Establish connection as adpcm type (a32,c32,a24,c24) or pcm (p).

Or Reduce delay between fax sets to less than 5 sec. if fax m/c has that option.

Or Load UVM Model E rev D.

Important Information:

This change requires a firmware change. With the old firmware the resolution will be 20ms, thus the UI will be wrong. With the new firmware the resolution will be 40ms. Before upgrading to 9.1.19 with this change, make sure UVM firmware is upgraded and the gap between software and firmware upgrades should be kept minimal. Please note also the default value is now displayed as 3.2 seconds instead of 1.6 seconds with the old 20ms resolution(20x80).

CSCdp42776

Symptom:

cnfport with BXM on the BPX may not work properly.

Conditions:

addjob with cnfport and then runjob dspjob shows failure and the port configuration does not change

Workaround:

None

CSCdp43913

Symptom:

When you run dsprsrc, information about which IP address (BPX Network IP or SES IP) is used for topology discovery using ILMI in BPX/SES based Autoroute/PNNI networks. There is a column to display the SES Ctrlr id, in case SES IP address is used for Topology Discovery.

Condition:

Running the dsprsrc command.

Workaround:

Just ignore the information on SES Ctrlr ID as BPX IP address is always used for topology discovery.

CSCdp45833

Symptom:

Users of VNS may experience poor voice quality. dspchst on the connections shows data in one direction.

When the command xlat_verify is run software error 332 is logged with FFF1 in the data field. This usually seen on the slave and via nodes of the leftover SVC. The master node shows it as deleted. dspcon on the slave and dspviacons on the via show the leftover conn.

Conditions:

CSCdm86633 in 9.1.16 fixed most occurrences but not all of the dangling SVC conns and hence occasionally poor voice.

Workaround:

Manual updates could be sent through the updates 3 * command to clean dangling SVC lcons.

CSCdp47053

Symptom:

Upgrade from 8.5.09 to 9.1.15 to 9.2.23 ALM/B y-RED may cause unreachable.

Conditions:

Upgrade from 8.5.09 to 9.1.15 to 9.2.23

Workaround:

Delete the y-red or switch the card back.

CSCdp47428

Symptom:

When you delete a VSI controller and add it back using addshelf/addctrlr command, the VSI master slave communication between the VSI controller and other BXM cards in the BPX may get lost.

Condition:

Deleting a VSI controller and adding it back.

Workaround:

Reset the BXM cards to which the VSI master slave communication is lost.

CSCdp47479

Symptom:

Unable to configure the LMI timers and counters.

Condition:

This is the case with LMI timers and counters for feeder trunks.

Workaround:

A new command is available (cnffdrlmiparms) which lets the user configure the LMI timers and counters for the feeder. This command is available from release 9.2.31 onwards.

CSCdp48792

Symptom:

The dsplog shows that APS alarm cleared but dspapsln shows LOS.

Conditions:

When working line in LOS is forced switch to become active line and protection line in OK is a standby line.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp48797

Symptom:

cnfcon on IGX with wrong slave parameters will change all the parameters to 0.

Condition:

This will occur only if executed from IGX node with wrong slave parameters. This won't happen for dax connection and cnfcon from BPX node.

Workaround:

Configure the PVC with correct parameters.

CSCdp49215

Symptom:

Traffic loss after a yred switch on a UXM trunk card. Software error 9082 logged.

Conditions:

Happens following the first yred switch to the secondary card following upping a trunk which causes the UXM card to become active. (meaning there were no ports or trunks up on the card previously, the card was in standby state)

Workaround:

Reset the secondary card using resetcd. This will cause it to be programmed.

Further Problem Description:

When activating a UXM yred pair by upping and adding its initial trunk, the secondary card is not getting programmed as a hot standby.

CSCdp49860

Symptom:

Some unintended connections are accidentally downed when the operator wishes to down a specific (unrelated) connection.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp49951

Symptom:

Cannot vt nor telnet to BPX node although it is not unreachable from the rest of the network. CPU utilization raises up to 100% and most of the RT CPU usage is consumed by the TUNL task. The following event in the log indicates the high CPU usage

Info Cpu usage is 100

Conditions:

Unknown

Workaround:

Use the command cnfcbtunl to configure the field "Xmit Port Num" to have a different value than 3000, say 2998.

CSCdp50593

Symptom:

The SES based PNNI controller is added to the BPX using addshelf and addctrlr commands. The addctrlr command adds the VSI functionality. However after adding the VSI functionality using the addctlr command, a new Feeder Object is not sent to the CWM. Hence the CWM will not identify the PNNI controller.

Condition:

Running the command addctrlr as the second step in adding a PNNI controller.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp51318

Symptom:

User never gets to know when the line is out of SD/SF condition. Both the aps lines always show in OK state in dspapsln

Conditions:

APS Line switches to stby line because of SD/SF condition. dspapsln will still show OK for both the lines. This way, user will never get to know when this line has come out of SD/SF condition.

Workaround:

Use rsh command to get all the aps line's status.

CSCdp52802

Symptom:

Customer reports that PBX calls can no longer be placed across UVM connections after the UVM line cleared a remote-OOF (YEL) alarm. IGX shows the UVM line status as clear (dsplns). However, the UVM line keeps sending the remote-OOF (YEL) alarm to PBX. Hence, preventing the PBX to place calls across the UVM connections. These symptoms persist until all connections on the port are removed, the line is downed (dnln).

Condition:

The "CVM and UVM Condition T1 Lines" feature is implemented so that IGX can inform the attached PBXs (by sending remote-OOF (YEL) alarm) if there is any problem on the DS0s on the UVM/CVM T1 line. When IGX stops sending the remote-OOF (YEL) alarm, it did not stop sending out framed all-1s alarm to PBX. Thus, preventing PBX to place calls across the UVM line.

Workaround:

To avoid this problem, turn off CVM and UVM condition T1 line feature.This can be done by issuing the IGX command: cnflnsigparm 12 N

CSCdp53212

Symptom:

dspload command from the igx for a remote bpx trunk is rejected.

Conditions:

The trunk number on the bpx is greater than 8 and the command is run from an igx.

Workaround:

Run dspload from the bpx for the trunk.

CSCdp53891

Symptom:

addloclp initiates the same state in SWSW as a connection failure causing a remote alarm to be sent when the diagnostic is invoked. This causes 24 channels to fail when the diag should be transparent to customers.

Conditions:

When addloclp/addrmtlp is done on the T1/E1 UVM connection

Workaround:

Turn off yellow alarm feature.

Further Problem Description:

Any connection failure condition causes yellow alarm

The fix to this problem is to check for the connection state whether its loop conditioned or not. If the connection is loop conditioned then we don't want to generate yellow alarm. Because of this fix following will be the behavior in one of the scenarios, specified bellow:

A-------------B

addloclp on side A of the connection No yellow alarm will be generated on B (THIS BUG FIX)

dncon on A or B. Yellow Alarm will be generated on A side but not on B as the connection was already conditioned because of loop.

Now, dellp on A. Now, on side B also Yellow Alarm should be generated but SW WILL NOT GENERATE YELLOW ALARM which might be considered as a BUG.

CSCdp53961

Problem:

A bug was noticed in the software that could prevent a CC mastership hardware problem from being detected.

Workaround:

None. The hardware problem is very unlikely to occur.

CSCdp54106

Symptom:

BCC switchover causes Comm Failure and telnet failure

Conditions:

This happens when a Popeye feeder is used.

Workaround:

Use the new Popeye release with configurable lmi parameters and configure the parameters to have maximum time limits.

CSCdp54803

Description:

If a BCC hardware problem resulted in a continuous flood of Spurious Interrupts, the node should do continuous hitless rebuilds. It should not switch to the standby processor if the standby is in "Update" state, rather than "Standby" state. However, this type of hardware problem does cause switchovers.

Workaround:

None. This problem is extremely unlikely to occur in the field. It was simulated with the aid of a specially modified BCC card.

CSCdp55388

Symptom:

dspchuse xx shows port group 2 has 3745 PVC configured when the correct number should be 4000.

Conditions:

The UI dspchuse shown incorrect result.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp55442

Symptoms:

Un-initialized memory gets overwritten.

Conditions:

addjob or editjob with cnfport on BPX.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp58545

Symptoms:

With UVM<->CVM VAD connections, voice quality at the CVM end sounds distorted. Also CVM reports under run & dropped data (dspchstats) when traffic is going through.

Conditions:

UVM<->CVM VAD connections through UXM trunks.

Workaround:

Use non-VAD connections or re-route connections through an NTM if available.

CSCdp58869

Symptom:

While modifying the SIW PVC (using cnfcon) with wrong slave side Frame relay bandwidth parameters (PCR) from BPX, cli displays error message "unknown response 93"

Condition:

This will occur only for cnfcon not for addcon.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp59960

Symptom:

If the PBX sends the remote-OOF (YEL) alarm to a UVM T1 line, it causes the IGX to send back a remote-OOF (YEL) alarm to the PBX. This can cause the UVM T1 line to stay in yellow alarm indefinitely.

Conditions:

PBX put into out of service state then restored at one side.

Workaround:

Delete all the connections on the alarm UVM T1 line (delcon)

Down the alarm UVM T1 line (dnln)

Disable the feature "CVM and UVM T1 Line Conditioning?" (cnflnsigparm 12 N)

CSCdp61539

Symptom:

After dntrk not all channels for used by control traffic were deleted.

Workaround:

None

Additional information:

Except that a few channels are not released for the trunk there are no side effects.

CSCdp62387

Symptom:

This DDTS report is not related to a problem. It is for a special request to add a new field to an APS Clear Alarm Trap. The trap 20100 APS Clear does not indicate what the nature of the alarm was that is being cleared. This is a special request to add a field to the trap indicating what the old alarm condition was.

Workaround:

Before a Clear Alarm is sent, there should have previously been an alarm message indicating what the problem was. Check for this older alarm trap for the information.

CSCdp64345

Symptom:

After hitless rebuild, a trunk formally in Comm Fail or Path Fail is perceived as being OK until some time later the status is re-discovered.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp65187

Symptom:

On APS 1+1 configuration, lines go in LOS when multiple times switchyred is done, within 10 secs.

Conditions:

When working line is in LOS and Protection line in OK state

Workaround:

Wait for at least 10 seconds before issuing second switchyred

CSCdp66930

Symptom:

No trap when user try to do APS switch when the user puts the line in the lockout mode.

Conditions:

When APS switch fails due to the line in the lockout mode, we got 7055 when the line was put in lockout by BPX but did not get the trap 7055 if the user puts the line in the lockout mode. There is no trap!

Workaround:

None

CSCdp69003

Symptom:

Comm Break clearing after rebuild is just as slow on a lightly loaded node as on a heavily loaded node. Total recovery time could be smaller.

Workaround:

It would be possible to reduce Comm Break Test Delay to 5000 for speed-up

Solution:

Details are in SCM-note. It is now recommended to use 10000 for Comm Break Test Delay. A faster value does not speed-up the process, but adds some additional overhead.

CSCdp69582

Symptom:

When we have a yred pair between two non enhanced BXM cards and upgrade one of the BXMs with an enhanced BXM, software prevents any switchyred because of the difference in qbin size.

Conditions:

yred pair between two non enhanced BXM cards

Workaround:

There are couple work around:

dncd will force the switch

rmcd will also force the switch

CSCdp70093

Symptom:

When you run the command cnfvsipart, you could get the error Failed for unknown reason.

Condition:

Running the cnfvsipart command, when no port based LCNs are available for the VSI ILMI session.

Workaround:

When you get the above error, check the LCNs used using the command dspchuse. This should provide the information if LCNs are available or not. If there are no LCNs available, try to reduce the LCNs used for PVC connections by 1 using the cnfrsrc command. This should free up an LCN for VSI ILMI session.

CSCdp70295

Symptom:

Unable to support VPI=0 on ports through SNMP. Also if start VPI=0 is configured on ports using the CLI command cnfrsrc, the VPI range could be shrunk by configuring start VPI=1 using SNMP.

Condition:

Configuring VSI resource partitions on port using SNMP.

Workaround:

Use the CLI command cnfrsrc.

CSCdp73719

Symptom:

When you try to disable ILMI protocol on a port interface through SNMP and VSI ILMI capability is active on any VSI partitions on the port, the ILMI protocol can be disabled, which could affect the VSI ILMI capability.

Condition:

Configuring port parameters through SNMP.

Workaround:

Configure port parameters through CLI.

CSCdp76840

Symptom:

LOS/Comm.fail on consecutive resetcd, on APS 1+1 yred pair.

Condition:

APS 1+1 configuration. Second resetcd is issued on Active card, before card programming is not over for the first resetcd.

Workaround:

Check whether any of yred pair card is getting programmed or not. Use "dspcd" command for this and look for "PRGRM" string.

Note: If user types "y" (yes) for continue when warned, card will be reset. If user types "n" (no) for continue when warned, card will NOT be reset.

CSCdp79429

Symptom:

dspselftst shows test not run with many attempts and dspmemblk shows the "Max Block in Bytes" in DYNM region less than 10000.

Conditions:

If it persists, there may be memory leak on the system. The following are the conditions that can cause memory leak:

1. The network has 9.2 and 9.1.09 (or lower) nodes with connections between them. Nodes go through rebuild or connections get rerouted.

2. Run cnftrk command and fail.

Workaround:

Please run "scanrgn 2" and have the output examined. If there is memory leak, you may

1. upgrade the node to a new 9.2 release that has the fix or

2. run switchcc and then reset the standby processor card (after there are no 9.1.09 nodes in the network).

CSCdp79560

SYMPTOM:

The following symptoms are all related to this defect:

- Periodic dips were observed when collecting TFTP Channel stats over a 24 hour period, or long enough for the stat counters to wraparound.

CONDITIONS:

The following conditions are needed for this problem to occur.

1) TFTP stats (especially Cells Rx Port and Cells Tx Port) are enabled for Connections.

2) TFTP stats are collected for connections over a long period of time.

CUSTOMER IMPACT:

1) The TFTP stats collected would be inaccurate due to the periodic dips.

WORK AROUNDS:

No workaround. This has been fixed.

FURTHER PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

Two causes were identified in the function that handles the Channel Statistics Response as described:

1) Every <polling interval>, summary statistic databases (of size ULONG) are updated with the statistics obtained from Firmware. Before updating a summary statistic counter, a check to verify if adding the new data would cause an overflow is performed in which case the summary statistic database is cleared.

The upper limit was in error where a wraparound/clearing of databases was done every LONG instead of every ULONG. This caused the databases to be cleared more often than necessary.

2) When the summary database is cleared due to an overflow, some flags are set indicating that the next polling response received should not update the summary database.

However, this was found to affect TFTP statistics also as none of the databases were updated if these flags were set.

The combination of these two conditions caused more frequent clearing of summary databases which in turn skipped updating the TFTP stats database with the next stats response.

CSCdp79719

Symptom:

The cnftrk screen on an IMA trunk shows negative or incorrect transmit trunk rate.

Conditions:

This can happen on an IMA trunk when decrementing IMA group members to 1 and disabling IMA protocol at the same time.

Workaround:

Don't decrement IMA group members to 1 and disable IMA protocol at the same time.

CSCdp82720

Symptom:

Standby UXM does not take over when firmware is burned on active

Condition:

Yred configuration

Work around:

None

CSCdp84848

Symptom:

dsplogcd shows incorrect VSI parameters for VSI only trunk.

Conditions:

This happens for VSI only trunk.

Workaround:

There's no database corruption. Use cnfrsrc to see correct VSI parameters.

CSCdp85171

Symptom:

Event log fills up with BXM <slot> Hardware failure (or HW failure). CWM logs also fill up with those messages. Node does switchcc and rebuilds later.

Workaround:

Install redundant BXM, or notice the accumulation of Hardware failures in the log and reset or replace the BXM.

CSCdp85238

Symptom:

Line goes in LOS when resetcd is done

Condition:

addapsln and delapsln. For regular line alm status is not queried by the switch software.

Workaround:

None. Or it requires memory patch.

CSCdp86269

Symptom:

Trunk has LOS when nothing is wrong.

Conditions:

Run cnfcdaps command for cards on both sides of the trunks at the same time.

Workaround:

Wait until the cards on one side finish resetting before run cnfcdaps on the other side. If the wrong LOS happens, run dntrk and uptrk to clear it.

CSCdp90123

Symptom:

This problem occurs only if a feeder controller is active on other trunks and if the feeder type is not VSI.

Workaround:

To do cnftrk of "Restrict CC traffic" use pm. The value taken for Line coding will not be used and hence, this has no effect.

CSCdp90130

Symptom:

Cnfrsrc shows more max bandwidth for BXM-155 or BXM-622 feeder trunks. The difference is the SONET overhead, which is about 13585 cps for OC3, and about 54340 cps for OC12.

Conditions:

This happens to BXM-155 or BXM-622 feeder trunks.

Workaround:

None

CSCdp98715

Description:

This problem occurs only if:

1. dncon/upcon with a cos option is run.

2. A single card has more than 2176 connections.

However, no harm is done unless the above 2 facts are true AND the number of connections on the card is greater than [((15 -<slot_number>) * 2032)+ 144]

Workaround:

Do not use the dncon/upcon with cos option if a single card has more than 2176 connections.

CSCdr00072

Symptoms:

Unpredictable number of alarm polling requests when a back card is inserted.

Conditions:

A back card is inserted.

Workaround:

None

Clarifications

1. The OC-3 MultiMode Fiber backcards do not support Y-cable redundancy.

2. Upgrade from VSI 1.1 to VSI 2.2 is supported in this release, it is not a graceful upgrade. See the upgrade section on page 11 .

3. The OC-3 MultiMode Fiber backcards do not supportY-cable redundancy.

4. Upgrade from VSI 1.1 to VSI 2.2 is supported in this release, however it is not a graceful upgrade. See the "Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements" section for more information.

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

BXM cards with M.C.B/M.D.A firmware or later can be smoothly migrated to the M.E.F version of firmware by using y-cable redundancy. To upgrade a BXM card pair in y-red configuration, first upgrade the standby card with the MEF firmware version and wait for all the configuration to be downloaded into the card. Do a switchyred to switch to the card with firmware M.E.F and burn the other card also with M.E.F firmware. Follow the standard firmware upgrade procedure for downloading and burning the firmware into the cards.

Features Obsoleted

VSI 1.0 is obsoleted by VSI 2.2 in this release.

Notes & Cautions

1. M.E.E is fully compatible with 9.2 Switch Software. It has not been tested for compatibility with 8.4, 8.5, or 9.1 Switch Software. It is compatible with IOS version 12.05t2 for MPLS

2. While upgrading from firmware, on OC3, 1 port OC12 BXM cards, if stats level on BXM is greater than 1, the upgrade should take place according to the one of the upgrade procedures below to avoid the card mismatch.

Step 1   Upgrade SWSW to 9.2.30 or higher.

Note   Switch Software Release 9.1x can be used with MEx firmware if VSI is not enabled.

Step 2   Upgrade the firmware to MEF.


Step 1   Upgrade firmware to MEC.

Step 2   Upgrade SWSW to 9.2.30 or higher revision.

Note   Switch Software Release 9.1x can be used with MEx firmware if VSI is not enabled.

Step 3   Upgrade firmware to MEF.


3. Burn firmware should not be interrupted. Card resets in the middle of burn firmware will result in the BXM being maintained in the core state (Identified by blinking yellow LED), or failed state (Identified by a solid red led). In this case the dspcds screen will report the card as FAILED. This state can be recovered by reburning the firmware into the card.

4. Protection Switching based on BER on BXM may not comply to standards. The GR-253 & ITU-T G.783 requires that switching be completed within 60 msec from the time the error starts. BXM is unable to detect BER threshold crossing until the next poll, which occurs every 250 msec. Thus, switching time may be up to 250 msec under certain circumstances.

5. In APS 1+1 default configuration, both backcard LEDs show green when primary card is active and selection is from PROT line. When primary card is active and it is selecting from PROT, PROT backcard should be green, since it is carrying traffic. WORK backcard should also be green since that is the physical path for the primary (and active) card to pass traffic. So backcard LED green means the backcard is directly or indirectly carrying traffic and pulling the backcard will cause traffic disruption. (CSCdm53430)

6. In APS 1+1 default configuration and a manual W->P is on and a switchyred is issued, a manual W->P event is logged. By default, on switchyred the new active card comes up in "clear" state. But in this case since there is a manual W->P on, the APS line switches to PROT and the switching is logged. (CSCdm53404)

7. In APS 1+1 default configuration if the selected line is PROT and last user request is clear and a switchyred is issued, line switches to WORK. If the last user request is "clear", full automatic APS switching is in effect with the working line being active by default. When there is no last user switch request to switch to any particular line, the working line will become active. (CSCdm53420)

8. When APS Annex B is added to local end which has the Secondary card active, the APS trunk goes into Comm Failure for few seconds and then clears. If Secondary card is active, then do a switchyred to make Primary card active and then add APS Annex B. (CSCdm46359)

Known Anomalies

The following is the list of known anomalies for the BXM firmware:

Bug ID  Description 

CSCdp63445

Symptom:

ABR and UBR connections loose traffic when VC shaping is turned on.

Condition:

Enabling of VC shaping on port terminating ABR and UBR connections

Workaround:

Leave VC shaping disabled.

CSCdp05098

Symptom:

Cell discards occur for ABRFST/ABRSTD conns when the traffic burst is greater than the MBS

Condition:

This occurs when the traffic burst size is fixed to 140000 cells at 70000 cps. The conn are configured with PCR=72000/72000, MBS=1000/1000 and ICR 7200/7200. This is the expected behavior since the configured MBS < the actual burst size.

Workaround:

Increase the MBS and ICR using cnfcon.

Bugs Fixed in Release MEF

The following is the list of bugs fixed in release MEF.

Bug ID  Description 

CSCdp58969

Symptom:

cb_get.c CB_VPC_STATUS_POLL SoItcSend Failed upon VSI Failure

Condition:

When VSI receives and transmits lot of vsi message AAL5 drive will get into deadlock problem if it had missed a DMA interrupt

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp57596

Symptom:

CB_TASK on BXM goes into deadlock state causing VSI session to be lost

Condition:

This happens when both Ingress and Egress qe semaphore is taken by IDLE_TASK and it never released in an error condition

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer versions of firmware.

CSCdp25220

Symptom:

Avail Buffer on BXM = 0 on LVC flapping for xtag interfaces

Condition:

Same as CSCdp58969. During this condition AAL5 driver doesn't release the transmission buffer.

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to/MEF or newer versions of firmware

CSCdp59328

Symptom:

EPD bit was not set for interslave control vc

Condition:

When vsi get congestion (same as CSCdp58969)

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to/MEF or newer versions of firmware

CSCdp92916

Symptom:

Commands executed on stdby card affect APS line

Condition:

Series of commands executed in stdby card affects APS line

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp39723

Symptom:

APS is not functioning in 9.2.21 with FW ME18 for Bidirectional w/Nonrevertive

Condition:

Reversion was happening due to spurious SF/SD events. Fixed by setting the right values for SF/SD thresholds

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp20848

Symptom:

SF switchover doesn't occur after dncd/upcd execution on Annex B 1+1 APS

Condition:

When the dncd command is executed, SWSW sends 0x27 CBUS message. The handler for this message was putting the lines in loopback and shutting down the laser. Also it was changing the line state in SoCdDown() to DOWN state. This caused subsequent upcd (0x05/0x04) message to re-initialize the lines disabling the S/UNI interrupts in the process.

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp24224

Symptom:

WTR does not occur after LOS recovery on protection line

Condition:

The meaning of primary and secondary channels were changed immediately upon switchover instead of waiting for the expiry of WTR. This caused the clearing of the failure to be accounted against the secondary channel and thus there was no WTR. Fixed by introducing a Preparation switch mode where-in the current active channel will remain as the secondary until a WTR occurs or a primary section mismatch pre-empts that state. At the expiry of WTR, the preparation switch mode is complete and the current active channel becomes the primary.

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp32646

Symptom:

WTR Timer does not work and reversion occurs during SF switchover

Condition:

Added a preparation switch mode where the current active channel is the secondary channel. At the expiry of WTR, the secondary channel is changed to the become the primary channel.

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp35156

Symptom:

BPX APS reverts back to the working line before WTR time has expired

Condition:

TR was being pre-empted by a spurious SD condition. Fixed by setting the right thresholds for SF/SD based on BER

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp60696

Symptom:

Both lines fail when only one line in alarm

Condition:

After the standby card comes out of reset, its S/UNI states are not reliable for a period of 1.5 seconds and the S/UNI reports LOS clear on the WORK line. This gets conveyed to the active card and then the Manual switch gets priority and becomes the current local request. This causes a switch back to WORK. When the active card's S/UNI monitors the WORK line, it discovers that the line is in LOS and immediately switches back. The oscillations continue and the line goes into LOCKOUT due to excessive switching. In the Lockout mode only the WORK line is active and thus the defect.

Workaround:

None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp65320

Symptom:

Need a trap when BPX puts APS in lockout

Condition:

Send the traps in the right sequence. First send the Lockout trap and then the failed to switch trap if there is a switch attempt while lockout is in effect.

Appendix B

UXM Firmware ABE Release Notes

Introduction

These release notes define the UXM functionality of Firmware version ABE which will operate with 9.1 and 9.2 Switch Software Releases

UXM firmware will operate under 9.1.XX software, so it can be loaded prior to upgrading Switch Software.

UXM Version ABE Firmware

UXM firmware ABE introduces the following features:

1. Dynamic q control to vary the queue performance as IMA trunks change throughput

2. Compatibility with AXIS IMATM-B cards

UXM firmware ABD introduces the following features:

1. Support for XLR backcard

UXM firmware ABA introduces the following features:

1. Support for Virtual Trunking

2. VC Traffic Shapping on ports only

3. Standards compliant IMA on E1 and T1 interface cards

4. Enhanced Multi-Level Channel Statistics, enables more statistics on each connection

5. Ports and trunks on the same card

Clarifications

1. On the UXM, for the OC-3 MultiMode Fiber backcards, no Y-Redundancy/hot standby is supported.

2. Traffic Shaping is a new feature on UXM card. The VC/VP traffic shaping shapes each individual connection by scheduling the cells using the WFQ (weighted Fair Queueing) technique to ensure appropriate conformance dictated by the service provider. In general, traffic shaping provides a tight control on each connection's CDV in order to meet carrier requirement. Also, it prevents any connection from dominating bandwidth resources. On UXM, the traffic shaping is on per port basis. Once the traffic shaping is turned on, then all connections added after will have traffic shaping on. For details, please refer to 9.2 feature description and commands.

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

General

Before upgrading to this release when UXM cards are to be used, certain legacy cards firmware must be upgraded. See the Compatibility Matrix for cards affected and the exact versions to be used.

Note    Standards compliant IMA is not compatible with the proprietary IMA protocol used in revision A firmware. Both ends of an IMA trunk must have the same protocol.

Upgrade Procedure

For upgrades from firmware versions prior to ABA follow steps 1 through 3 else just burn ABB and perform step 3. Failure to follow this procedure may result in the card not operating. The card should be returned to Cisco if this occurs:

Step 1   First upgrade the boot code to 06 by using the same procedure as burning firmware, only specify the boot version in place of the firmware version. Use the C option over D as it is faster.

Step 2   When the boot code has been loaded burn the firmware.

Step 3   When Yred trunks are used the red alarm in/out values must be configured to 1.25/1.5 seconds or greater else INVMUX failures will occur and trunk failures will be observed during a Yred switchover. This is due to the IMA protocol and may cause re-route of connections. Use the cnftrkparm command.


Features Not Supported

None

Obsoleted

Auto link disable on IMA groups is no longer available as the ATM forum standard does not permit it.

Notes & Cautions

Limitations

1. Multi level Stats has to be configured as the card is initially configured in the down state. The higher levels of statistics make more information on each connection. As a result the maximum number of connections is limited as defined below:

Lvl 0 = 8126 conns
Lvl 1 = 8126 conns
Lvl 2 = 8126 conns (uxme), 4030 conns (uxm)
Lvl 3 = 4030 conns (uxme), 1982 conns (uxm)

2. There is no 9.1 stats support for UXM cards that were shipped with 9.2 firmware since the UXM card has the default level 1 stats.

There is 9.1 stats support for UXM-E cards that were shipped with 9.2 firmware since the UXM-E card has the default level 2 stats. Level 2 stats include all of the needed to be 9.1 compatible.

Therefore, when using an UXM with 9.2, a user must either:

3. The UXM-IMA and MGX 8220 IMATM are not compatible if the IMA group contains only one T1 or E1 line. Since on the IGX-UXM trunk, the IMA protocol is invoked only if an IMA trunk consists of multiple physical lines, therefore, for a trunk with a single T1 or E1 line, the IMA protocol is not invoked. This implementation is different with MGX 8220 IMATM because the MGX 8220 shelf invokes the IMA protocol regardless of the number of T1/E1 lines in the IMA group.

4. UXM IMA trunk groups must use common clock. Independent clocking is not permitted.

5. On the UXM, for the OC-3 Multi-Mode Fiber backcards, no Y-Redundancy/hot standby is supported.

6. It is not recommended to combine ABR and UBR PVC's on the same network. ABR and UBR PVC's share the same QBIN (Class of Service Queue) on the BXM card. However, ABR (VSVD) uses a flow control mechanism which ensures that the traffic source slows down when the QBIN usage exceeds the EFCI threshold. However, UBR does not have a mechanism to slow down. Thus, UBR traffic gains an unfair advantage over ABR. This implementation is not considered a problem, since the decision to share a QBIN for ABR and UBR traffic was intentional, since any best-effort service that one would route over UBR can be routed over ABR (VSVD), with the additional benefit of protecting resources in the network. If there is a real requirement to use UBR PVC's instead of ABR (VSVD), then either (1) add all best-effort PVC's as UBR, or (2) isolate the ABR and UBR paths by using cnfpref and separating ABR and UBR endpoints.

7. Combining FBTC and non-FBTC connections within a Class of Service can cause FBTC connections to not receive a fair share of bandwidth. For example, if VBR connections are added at a terminating port, and some of these VBR connections have FBTC enabled while other VBR connections have FBTC disabled, the VBR connections with FBTC disabled may obtain all of the excess bandwidth before the connections with FBTC enabled receive any of the excess bandwidth. The same holds true for ABR or UBR connections. This only is relevant where FBTC and non-FBTC connections share a QBIN, either at a port or at a trunk.

Compatibility Notes

Note   When Yred trunks are used the red alarm in/out values must be configured to 1.75/2.0 seconds or greater else INVMUX failures will occur and trunk failures will be observed during a Yred switchover. This is due to the IMA protocol and may cause re-route of connections.

For a complete list of firmware revisions supported, see the Compatibility Matrix document, which is included in this release package.

UXM model B uses standards compliant IMA protocol. This is not compatible with the previous proprietary IMA protocol in Model A firmware.

UXM boot code revision AB06 has no known compatibility issues with any released version of UXM hardware or firmware.

UXM firmware revision ABA requires UXM boot code revision AB06 be burned into the UXM card prior to burning ABA firmware.

Known Anomalies

There are no known anomalies in this release.

Feature Supported

Support for OAM RAS and Traffic Generation

Compatibility

This firmware is also compatible with older switch software release for the FRM. This firmware will work on all hardware revision though using the latest hardware revision is recommended.

Note    The OAM RAS and Traffic Generation capability will only work with switch software 9.2 release.

Upgrade Procedure

The command burnfwrev is sufficient to upgrade.

Bugs Fixed in This Release

Bug ID   Description 

CSCdm06254

Description:

When a 17 or less byte frame is received from the network and the DE bit is set on a CGW connection, the frame is interpreted as a supervisory frame and discarded. Because it is interpreted as a supervisory frame the dspchstats will not be incremented for this frame.

Occurrence:

Always occurs with short frames when DE bit is set on CGW conns.

Note: This may occur if DE is enabled and the connection is above the CIR. This bug is only applicable to FW images with bug fix for CSCdk15283 (UXM CGW conns FST A's are not timing out): FDZ/FEZ through FJA/FKA. This bug is N/A to SGW conns.

FPRX Fix:

rxfpproc.asm - only check for SPV bit if SGW conn (fix adds one line & a jmp label)

mkasm.bat - new file to allow making on network

CSCdm39606

Foresight does not work on CGW conns

CSCdk85613

Description:

Due to bug fix CSCdk15283 CGW Supvisory Fastpackets were not correctly recognized and were being discarded, thus effectively disabling Foresight.

CSCdk79082

Description:

addloclp on port doesn't loop data back to external equipment in FW revs since FDZ (a result of bug fix CSCdj71238)

Fix:

True simultaneous bi-directional looping (of CPE traffic to itself and of net traffic to itself) cannot be done through the hardware as is done in the Line Model. The solution to obtain both loops is to setup the SCC back to auto-echo mode (external CPE loopback, as it was in pre-Rev Z) and to loop all network traffic as if each of the conns were in remote loopback (by checking the port state). Because the network looping is not being done in the backcard (as was done for the Line) the following differences with the Line operation WHEN IN THE "addloclp port" STATE must be noted:

1. dspportstats shows no traffic (as it was in Port pre-Rev Z FW).

2. dspchstats only shows Rxd & Txd fastpacket stats (as if the conns were in individual remote loop) and not the Rxd & Txd frames & bytes (as with the Line Model in the addloclp port state).

ACP Fix: dma_ctrl.c - check if port_ptr->port_local_lb set

ftx_rxmb.c - loop if port_ptr->port_local_lb set

CSCdm00120

Other end of E1/T1 line gets 1 OOF error when up/dn port done

CSCdj64969

Description:

Executing upfrport causes 1 OOF & 1 CRC err on other end of circuit line.

Executing dnfrport causes 1 OOF on other end of circuit line. [This was due to a FW work-around for a HW lockup problem associated with the ATT Spyder chip and a PLD. A timing problem was fixed in the PLD in HW rev B which caused a Spyder dead HW error about every 10th upfrport/dnfrport.]

Occurrence:

Every time a upfrport/dnfrport is executed.

ACP Fix:

The FW now checks if HW rev B or greater exists in the backcard and skips the FW work-around. Thus, this bug is fixed for all HW revs >= B.

dma_ctrl.c - skip FW work-around for Spyder (framer) lockup if not HW rev A or P01.

Note: with old HW would previously get the following hardware error,

0B 00 06 99 01 D2 01 03 01 00 00 00 11 (11 = SPYDER_DEAD code).

Appendix D
